There are pros and cons to both.

On one hand commuting, even on a flexible schedule, helps building a routine and the clear separation is mentally positive and helps focus.

On the other hand, some days I really need to stay home and work in my pajamas, with fewer interactions as possible, especially when it's really cold or really hot. In those days an in-presence work day would be 10% productive, at least remotely in my safe environment it can get 20%.

The best possible solution is flexible: try and be in presence whenever possible, but know that you have the option to go remote when in need. The best of both worlds. Unfortunately yes, it's not always possible when the job requires some hardware.

If's been a while I haven't used xc, I will look into it and see if that works for me. The only real benefit of xc compared to keepass is hidpi support because it doesn't use Mono on linux

I imagine the guy being 3000IQ and wanted to leave, so he pretended to be scammed to be fired without quitting and divided the 5000$ with his pal

When I was very young (probably too much to be on the internet) I got onw of those viruses that lock your pc and ask for a payment because the pc is seized by the authority or some shit. Of course I believed it so I mustered the courage to tell my parent. Was very relieved when they told me it was a scam and 3 seconds of googling tols me how to remove the virus (it was just an autostart program).

When I changed electricity operator I got called telling from the operator I switched to and gave my bank coordinates to change the contract. Took a while to figure out maybe it was not them. How they found out I just switched to that particular operator they were impersonating is outiside of my understanding.

My grandma got a call saying it was "one of her child" she made the mistake to tell them the name of her child so they pretended to be one. She might have been old, but she was smart enough to hung up and call my uncle and of course he had no accident, but coincidentallt it was the only day in the week he was not with her. Did they know? Who knows

Mainly otp generation (which I believe XC implements natively), ssh key agent, to lock ssh private keys inside databases and the Kee integration for browser completion from the database.

Then other small things I have just for fun, like generating QR code from some secrets because certain apps only take the secret as a qr code and plugins to generate passphrases

It's not bad, but there aren't all the useful addons that keepass has

What is more conveniente for a hacker? Finding a vulnerability in Last pass, accesding millions of users and possibily billions of passwords, or trying to get your keepass database file that at best contain a thousand passwords? Not relying on an external service grants you protection just on that. Also offline databases don't carry passwords over the net, so one must steal files from your computer or physically access it

As a casual js user (I build some static sites for fun and personal use), I am under the impression that JavaScript "sucks" mostly because some things really make it look like JavaScript was invented as a quick scripting tool rather than the backbone of the WWW.

I'll bring an example that maybe helps me learning someting. Why in javasctipt "1" == 1? I know the === operator exists, but why isn't the default behaviour the safer one? Especially when the mantra is "don't trust the user".

Like, I get, I am a strongly-typed guy, but I see why weakly-type languges exists, but this feel frankly moronic, and all the answers I've seen are " because that's how it is". That's just copium.

Also when I tried to compile a single Cordova app to play around I needed some 5GB of npm modules that totalled ~200k files! Is that how modern app development is like?

Also, the particular webpage OP linked might be a little extreme, but modern software does suck ass, and is not user-friendly nor efficient. Just look at mobile communication apps, like Teams. The user experience is terrible, the UI is unrespive, the battery drain is crazy and it takes 800MB of space. Is this because it's an electron app, or because it's made by incompetent programmers? I don't know, but we made incredible hardware improvements in personal computing, new software should be even more efficient and use them better, not get more and more bloaty to have the same experience on older and newer hardware

Death is not unexpected on whether it will happen, but when. Everyone dies, but you might be going to work one day and you die because of a moron burning a red light, or you might ne the healthiest person and get an incurable cancer, or people die from random hearth attack.

That's not true, "retarded" (from the latin term for delay) was intially used as a medical term to someone with lower cognitive abilities, not an insult per se. but like other similar terms (such as "cretin") it was eventually used more as an insult, until it was considered offensive by most and only the offensive meaning remained in the common speech.

That is a very healthy way to look up to it, good luck!

It depends on the amount of time, but if they don't even have the time for a courtesy reply like "I'll get to you in a couple of days", or "please contact me in .. days and I'll be able to help you", they either don't care or are too unorganized to bother
